The Atheist - Episode 5

 

(The New Base)

“I think the Faceless sent him, they know we are coming for them” Josh said to Jude who kept on operating his device.

They survived the explosion by tactics but were injured.

Jude had suggested they move out from the hotel away from spies. They could tell that spies would be everywhere even if they lodge into another hotel.

“Where the hell is this place?” Josh asked confused. 

They had been walking for hours through the woods in a forest.
“I want to show you something, it's where I live”, Jude replied.

“You live in a wood?”

“Not exactly”

“Then where?”

“Keep your calm, we will get there soon”

They continued the journey through bush paths and woods.
Josh suddenly stopped as he saw a hill not far away.

"A hill in the middle of a wood?”

“Yes, that’s where we’re going”

Josh opened his mouth surprised, he couldn’t believe he was well hidden in a hill.

“Here it is, we’re home” said Jude.

“What are you talking about, this is just a big hill with trees ….” Josh had to keep shut as the hill he insulted changed shape. He was dumb surprise.

“It’s a base where me and the others are working all this time

. This place is well protected and disguised. The four corners of this hill, have some sophisticated hologram technology that creates an image of virtual illusion. Well hidden from government and satelite cam.”

“Holy Molly. That’s just crazy.”

“I know, and I don’t have much time to explain. Let’s go inside. We need to strategize and map out our plans”.

Josh nodded concurring to his opinion.

“Who’s that?” asked Josh pointing to a statue of a man in a standing posture, situated at the entrance of the cave.

“Thats Dr. Fred. He’s the founder of this secret base. He’s the one who saved me after I went out to escape the explosion from the governor’s house in Moscow years ago.
He was murdered the same year he saved me but before he passed away, he made me swore that I won’t revenge his death and through that he made me a better person. He shaped my life to what I am now. 
C’mon , we need to get in now before the government’s satellite
capture our image.” 

Josh was touched with the revelation but he quickly dismissed it and went back to his former self.
Instead, he was totally amazed with the secret base.

. It was a secret base and also a hidden lab. The base was underground while the lab is above ground but still hidden from naked eyes.

Jude stepped over at the front of an electronic panel embedded with a small sized screen which enclosed a hidden door. Jude pressed his palm against the panel. It started scanning and the door automatically opened when the scanning was completed.

“Wow” Josh exclaimed in a stunned manner.

“Here we go”

They walked along an hallway heading towards a sphere, cylinder shaped glass elevator. Two guards
stood at the entrance of the elevator, holding a gun which looked like a glock but with an added telescope sight for shooting accuracy.
They wore uniforms exactly like swat uniforms but only the color were deep blue. The guards parted ways for them to step in.
Jude pressed his thumb finger against a fingerprint device installed on the wall next to the elevator
door.
The door slipped open and they went in. Josh stared in awe at the technology in the building, it was way too much compared to what he’d imagined.
The elevator was equipped with an holographic screen which displayed a Caucasian female assistance with a robotic voice giving instructions of the do’s and don’t’s when inside the elevator.

“Sasha take us to the top floor” Jude ordered.

“Alright sir, you’re required to stay calm, relax and be aware of your surroundings while I take you to
the top floor. No eating, drinking or smoking is allowed Agent Josh”

Josh was baffled, “How did she know my name?”, he whispered to Jude.

“She has searched all info about you even before we stepped in”

Josh hummed, “Impressive”

The elevator door opened and both stepped out.
“Thank you for using my service. Agent Josh, you can call me Sasha, have a nice day”

Josh smiled as he watched the elevator door closed.

“Still surprised?” Jude asked from behind. He spun around and nodded his head in the affirmative.

“Just superb” he replied.

Jude suddenly stopped before a wall, raised up his two hands and the wall split and it changed shape into a door.
Josh couldn’t contain his bewilderment as he opened his mouth wide open surprised.

“Oh my! A door in a wall?”

“Yes for security purpose”

The door opened and they strode into a room. The room was exquisitely furnished and well equipped with advanced computer gadgets.

The four corners of the room were made of transparent glass, creating an illusion of one self.

“This is just crazy” Said Josh with smiles beaming on his face.

“Well, you do realize that your worst enemy is yourself, going after the faceless means killing yourself gradually”
